Here is what inspired today's Food For Thought...
Once upon a time, I loved an artist who was quirky, handsome and larger than life. I saw his potential (I always see potential) at the expense of the now because I grew up in a very abusive household. When not being hit or targeted for the daily on-slaught of verbal abuse designed to diminsh my spirit, I often felt invisible. The only attention I received was negative.
I made a decision as a child to see people.
Fast forward to that relationship. I chose to see him.
It was difficult and chaotic. Loving a man-child always is. Maybe it was a social experiment.
I hoped it would involve reciprocated love, protection and respect.
He needed more than I could give. He was not one to build a life around.
He ended up dumping me on Christmas Day, as he was seeing another.
